editor anomaly with screen reader (NVDA for blind users)

[FrancoisLB]

Problem Description

i use NVDA screen reader (free and open source see nv access.org) with spyder version 6. in the editor panel of spyder, during moving the text cursor with up dans down arrows, NVDA is supposed to annonce line content. when a line is empty, NVDA annonce the content of the prevuous one. it doesn't say "empty line"

this anomly probably comes from use of UI Accessible class object the editor panel

What steps reproduce the problem?

first sttep : open spyder version 6
step 2 : to to text editor panel ou open a python code
step 3 : install and run NVDAscreen reader
step 4 to to editor pan with ctrl + shift + e shortcut
step 5 : move the text cursor with up and down arrows.
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

NVDA is supposed to annonce the text line content or "empty line" if the line is empty !
here, if a code line is followed by an empty line, NVDA will annonce correctly the content of the first line with code. when moving down the text cursor on the empty line, NVDA will repeat content of the the prévious text line instead of "empty line"
